Family sues over Aids drug trial death
The family of a pregnant woman who died while taking experimental Aids drugs to protect her baby against the disease is suing the doctors, drug-makers and hospitals involved in the study for $10m (€7.3m).
Joyce Ann Hafford’s mother and sister claim doctors continued to give Hafford the drug regimen despite signs of liver failure. The action also claims that doctors did not warn the 33-year-old HIV-positive woman of the trial’s dangers.
